Well well well, if it isn't Purple Foundation who forgot about February 9 to post Top 9 moments of 2024 in our foundation!🤭😬

Please accept the list today with a little delay, and with two bonus pictures, one per every extra day.💜 Here is to even more eventful 2025!🥂

In 2024:

- We attended the opening of the first centre for victims of sexual violence in Czechia, proFem o.p.s., with whom we have been cooperating for years now 🏠
- As if that wasn't wonderful enough, we also saw Dům pro Julii, the first hospice for children in the Czech Republic, open its gates, too 💒
- We ran for Světluška - Nadační fond Českého rozhlasu again, this time in a strong Purple Team of 15🏃
- Our PuFo member Krištof Heger organized a group of colleagues who helped at SOS dětské vesničky, performing many a manual task around the premises🌳
- With Vodicí pes, z. s., we hosted our very first charity puppy yoga with four goldendoodles - a chaotic and unforgettable experience indeed! 🧘‍♀️
- Our 2024 MeetUp was even more amazing than the previous ones, hosting all our supported organizations. Last year's one deserves two pictures, as Dr Jan Richter's little ones made the whole event all the more magical✨
- Workshops with Společnost E are a must in Purple, and they showed us how to await the Christmas time in style🎄
- And lastly, our office was graced by the visit of "our" Purple puppy, Axa, whose training at Vodicí pes, z. s. we sponsor🐕‍🦺

How do art and oncology treatment influence each other, what does cooperation between Masarykův onkologický ústav Brno (MMCI) and FaVU VUT look like, and what happened when the institute swapped TV screens for paintings?🤔🖼️🎨

Bon voyage!👋

Today, we are packing up 70 kg of clothing and sending it to Klub svobodných matek. The organization then either sells it in their amazing Charity Fashion Shop, or donates to people in need in their Clothing bank.😍👕👗

A huge thank you goes to my wonderful colleagues from Purple Team who brought in dozens of high-quality garments and also to the company KS-trans autodoprava a spedice who decided to drive the whole collection from our headquarters in Brno to Prague for free as a charitable gesture. Thank you so much!💜🥹

What a beautiful Christmas gift!😍🎄

Earlier this year, Purple Foundation became one of the official partners of the ballet performance Tancem pro život, whose proceeds in the wonderful sum of 💜860 937 CZK💜will help directly in the Masaryk Oncology Institute in Brno. What will they purchase to make their patients' lives better? That will be decided soon by their own Patient Advisory Board!😊

Well done and we cannot wait what our future cooperation brings 💪⬇️

20/12/2024

Is there anything more fun than Christmas statistics? We don't think so!🎄
From all of us in Purple Foundation, thank you, thank you and thank you.💜
We will try to do our best and spread help where needed in 2025 even more.💪Stay tuned!😍

... future of trading clothes, that is!😍👚

At our recent Purple SWAP, not only did we find some fabulous new outfits, but we also helped reduce waste and promote sustainability in our workplace.🌎💪

Thanks to everyone for bringing your best items and making this event a hit! All the unswapped items in mint condition will be send to Klub svobodných matek!🎁💜

We are happy to announce another amazing partnership with Masarykův onkologický ústav Brno!😊

This year, we are one of the two main partners of Tancem pro život, an international ballet performance organized by Balet NdB.🩰 The event will take place this Saturday, 12 October and, most importantly, all the proceeds will help oncology patients in the Masaryk Oncology Institute.💜

Last year, the charity gala event managed to collect the Institute 714 815 CZK that was used to purchase medical beds for the patients.😍

There are still some few tickets left, so don't hesitate and grab them while you can here: https://www.colosseumticket.cz/cs/akce/149461425-tancem-pro-zivot

Did you know that one of many talents of our Purple Foundation member Krištof Heger is inspiring others to join him and volunteer?👀💪

This time, our motivator par excellence put together a Purple team of four and spent the day helping our beloved SOS dětské vesničky in Brno who host and help foster families.😍 It is no wonder that Ms Linda Najsrová, their great fundraiser, is beaming of happiness, as our colleagues, among other things:
- decluttered and organized the storage space 🏡
- tended to the garden 🍂
- moved and carried large clutter to the waste collection yard 🧤📦
and many more things to help the centre get organized before the cold months hit. 🚜❄

Thank you for your hard work, everyone, and I am sure we can rely on our Purple team to attend many more charitable outings in the future! 🙏💜

And here is to many more years of this wonderful cooperation! 🥂💙💜

16/07/2024

It is the time of the year when, until August 11, you can use your Tesco shopping tokens all over the Czech Republic to be a part of the decision on which charity organizations get significant financial aid😍💸

Some of our favourite and supported organizations are in the game, such as ParaCENTRUM Fenix💙, NFDO Krtek🧡and many more!

Don't forget to pick up your tokens and spare a couple of seconds when exiting the shop. It really is the easiest way to help!🙏

Právě začíná hlasovací fáze grantového programu Vy rozhodujete, my pomáháme. 🫶

Jak se zapojíte?
🎈Za každý nákup v Tesco získáte žeton, který dáte do hlasovacího boxu oblíbeného projektu. V každé prodejně vybíráte mezi třemi veřejně prospěšnými projekty.

🗓️ Hlasovat můžete až do 11 srpna.

🤝 Vy rozhodujete o tom, mezi kterých 70 dobročinných projektů po celé ČR my rozdělíme 3 150 000 korun. Výsledky oznámíme od 26. srpna 2024.

Odborným garantem našeho charitativního programu „Vy rozhodujete, my pomáháme“ je NROS - Nadace rozvoje občanské společnosti.

Did you know that the Czech legislation does not know the term "hospice for children"?🤔

Luckily, all the wonderful people of Dům pro Julii do and their years of hard work are culminating in the opening of the first hospice for children not only in Czechia, but in the whole of central Europe!🏡

Radka Vernerová, the directress of the organisation and the most charming hostess, showed us around the building in Brno that Purple Foundation had the privilege to support in the past few years.☕

Needless to say that the state-of-the-art design, equipment and materials are going to provide the best possible care for little patients and their families. We were truly speechless most of the time and that's why we think that pictures will speak more than words. What an amazing job, Dům pro Julii, thank you!💜🙏

📅Four weeks ago we woke up on a Friday morning exhilarated after our third edition of Purple Foundation MeetUp and I realized that it was an event that was as close to perfection as we have ever had!😍👇

▪️ Internet connection - stable✅
▪️ Food and desserts - colourful, delicious and of amount that fed everyone and we could even bring a cheeky cake or two home for breakfast 🍰
▪️ Times PuFo members stumbled, fell or lost their train of thought during a speech - zero!💪
▪️ Fashionable looks - served all night long 💃🕺
▪️ Presentations - concise, sweet, and moving💡

Truly an organizer's dream!💜 Thank you, Barceló Brno Palace Hotel, Teamcaffe, Dorty a makronky Brno and everyone who helped us.🤗

And because we have so many stunning pictures of the night from the talented Mr Hladík of https://nostandart.cz/, it would be a shame not to share them with you. 📸 Thank you for coming, everyone, and making this night memorable. See you again in 2025! 💖🥂
